Suggested by the Pope.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 27.-The Post to-
morrow will print the following with
reference to the presidents gift'to the
pope: 1T is learned from an Cffic icial
source that President Cleveland's gift
of a copy of the constitution of the
United States to Pope Leo Kill, on the
occasion of the golden jubilee of his
ordination as priest, was suggested in
directly by the holy father himself.
When Cardinal Gibbons returned from
Rome last summer he brought very
cordial and congratulatory message to
President Cleveland from the pope on
the success of his administration and
well wishes for him personally. The
pope, in his interview with Cardinal
Gibbons, expressed much satisfaction
with our constitution, and great interest
in its operation. This suggested to the
president the character of the gift. No
letter was sent with it, but on the fly
leaf, in the presidents hand writing, is
the inscription presenting the book to
the pope on the fiftieth anniversary OF
his entrance into the priesthood"

DRUMMED OUT OF TOWN.
How a Tough Iowan Was Treated
by Fellow-Citizens.

Special to the Globe
DEs MONIES, To-, Dec. 27.-Passen-
gers on the Fort Dodge train, coming
down from Ruthven to-day, were sur
prised to hear sounds of festivity at the
usually quiet station of Gilmore. Look
ing out of the window their es rested
upon a unique procession approaching
the station. At its head walked hard
looking individual of about fifty years,
and by his side was rather fresh-lOok-
ing. black-eyed young woman of about
twenty, who was not the least embar-
rasSed by her rather unusual situation
Behind them was band, composed of
a bass drum, three strings of sleigh
bells, one tin waiter, piece OF sheet
iron, one dinner bell and horn. The
passengers at first supposed that this
rather frOwZy old fellow had married
the pretty girl, and that the parade was
a charivari, but inquiry developed the
fact that the girl was fallen woman
from DeS MOines, who had come to live
with the man while his wife was absent
from home; that she had come there at
his solicitation, and that the indignant
citizens were drumming them out of the
town. The man appeared heartily
ashamed of himself. He took refuge in
corn crib, but was put Oh board the
train and sent to Fort Dodge. If he re-
turns they say they will tar and feather
him. The girl was as unconcerned as

FOREIGN PRODUCTION.
United States Minister'S Reports
of Production at Their Various

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-COnSul Ba-
ker. in report to the department of
state in regard to the wool production
of the Argentine Republic, says that
the amount of fine woods shipped from
there to the United States annually is
becoming less. The cause of this, he
says, is in great part due to the fact that
the United States tariff unintentiOnally
but very unjustly discriminates against
such woods from the Argentine Republic
in favor of those from Australia, New
Zealand, ETC.: our system of computing
the duties making no allowance what
ever for the fact that the dirt and grease
in the woods of the Argentine Republic
is fully 20 per cent greater than those of
the former countries; this excess of dirt
and grease being required to pay the
full tariff rates for wool. The only
woods from the Argentine Republic
which it is now possible to ship under
our tariff are the "Criolla," or long car
pet woods of the province of Cordoba,
which are shipped from Rosario, and
which amount to about 10000, 900
pounds annually. Consul J. SchOen-
hof, at TanStaIl, England, in his
report to the department of
state upon the economic conditions
of Ireland, treats upon the linen, ho-
siery and lace manufactures of that
country. He finds that the earnings of
the people employed in the linen mills
in Ulster are far below those of any
class employed in the textile branches
in England. Mill regulations and work
ing time of course are the same for the
whole kingdom. FlaX-breakers, men
who have to do very eXhaustlng work,
earn from 15s to pos per week; hackers.
from 1Ss to 23s per week: SpinnerS and
girls, from IS to los, half-timerS, boys
5S, girls is, and weaverS, mostly women,
tending two looms, from 12S to 15S.
Damask weaverS, however, the consul
says, earn few more shillingS per week.
In this connection, the consul reports,
that the linen trade suffers from depres-
sion. This is partly due to the fact that
not 50 much linen is used. owing to the
great cheapening in cotton manufactur-
ing, as was the case in former times,
and partly also because the use of brown
linen for ladies' dresses has ceased
through the change of fashion, but
principally through the geat reaction
following the immense expansions in
the wake of the American war and the
cotton famine consequent thereto. In
regard to the
wooLEN INDUSTRIES,
the consul notes the following current
wages: For men, from 12S to 14s. The
latter figure is about the limit of the
best man.. Spinner girls, SIS to los; chill
dTen, IS to IS, and weayers from los to
12s.s The mill employing about 75o
hands pays out about 9400 per week in
wages. The consul says that with the
advantages of cheap labor and great
eagerness for finding opportunities to
work all over Ireland, with an intelli-

was referred to the proper committee.

stating that he would personally urge

ability af arrange of lights AMI other i'm

the Duluth. Red Wing and Southern

brought up. 1t pppears that the cham
Der had for Duluth offered to foot the
bill for the survey, from River Falls to
this city, costing about $500, and that
part was now due on the work already
done. The chamber fully realized the
vast Importance of the iile,
and the bad results of any der

it was decided TO appoint committee
to raise the necessary funds among the
citizens. The Duluth. Rainy Lake &
Southwestern road matter was also
brought up, Chirman Hartley believing
that it would be well to investigate the
road, projectors and motives before any
memOrialiZing of congress should be
made. He was Inclined to believe. on a
casual glance, that the scheme of the
road was one destined to hurt Duluth
and American lines. The report from
w. w. BillSon, attorney for the chamber
in the matter Of statistical tax, claimed
that the question of the constitutional
ity of the act creating bureau
of statistics was an open one, and that
Judge Sleeper's decision might possibly
be reversed by higher court. 1t was,
therefore, decided to make the matter
the special order for the next meeting.
1t was moved by Chairman Hartley that
